BINGO is a game enjoyed by many! If heading out to a BINGO hall is not an option for you, this game can be adapted to play at home. BINGO can provide participants with an atmosphere for socialization without the pressure of having to necessarily converse. It also enhances mental focus and hand-eye coordination.

Flower Pressing is a great way to make the most of your garden at the end of the summer months. Harvesting flowers and pressing them promotes independence and adds to everyday enjoyment for your loved one. Finished products are eye-appealing and support a sense of accomplishment.

Many seniors are not familiar with or have not tasted exotic types of fruit. This is a fun and easy activity that you can do with your loved one at home. It engages memories and senses. Fun with Fruit can lead to reminiscing, by stimulating experiences and memories that are great stories to share.

Many women enjoyed being pampered throughout their lives. A fun way to relax and connect with your loved one is to provide a simple manicure. It helps with emotional well-being throughout the process. And the end result is nice nails to show off!

Stacking cups is a fun way to work on hand-eye coordination and improve dexterity. The goal of the game is to make pyramids out of cups as quickly and neatly as you can while being timed. It can be an individual or group challenge!
